Generate non-dues revenue with sponsor bar integration
If there’s one thing a chamber can use more of it’s non-dues revenue. Adding a sponsor bar to your property index is a great way to earn it! At the same time your chamber is providing promotion to local business owners. Two boosts to your local economy for the price of one. Sponsor bars can even offset the entire cost of your property index.
The strategically placed banner attracts visitors—and the premium location attracts sponsors. Your chamber controls sponsor messaging, frequency and price points for local business sponsors. Rotate as many sponsors as you want.
Don’t just generate traffic with your Property Index. Add a sponsor bar and generate revenue, too!

Upload flyers instead of filling out formsOur advanced technology pulls all of the property details from the broker’s flyer so time isn’t wasted entering anything manually.
Engage Site SelectorsKeep visitors engaged with your community’s available business sites by helping them filter through properties more effectively. Our size filters automatically include configurations such as combining vacant spaces so no opportunities are ever overlooked when searching.
The Gold StandardThe unique details that a commercial broker includes on a property flyer are the ones that are most complete and up-to-date. Instead of requiring information that doesn’t pertain to some properties, we allow their flyer to do all the talking.
